What is Switcheo – Complete Review

The growing number of hacking incidents against cryptocurrency exchanges and the subsequent need for stronger security measures has raised a question on the business model of these institutions. Despite dealing with blockchain technology through the cryptocurrencies that they trade every day, exchanges remain wary of using the technology within their own systems to stand against malicious cyber attacks.

The same line of thought originated the idea of decentralized exchanges (DEXs), which operate solely on blockchain technology and could remain far safer than their “centralized” counterparts.

A Beginner’s Guide to EOS (EOS): Complete Review

When Bitcoin debuted in 2009 as the world’s first cryptocurrency, it was deemed to be a technological marvel due to its usage of blockchain technology.

Being the first in utilizing blockchain and thus establishing itself as being profoundly unique for its time, Bitcoin maintained its status as the standard in decentralized blockchains for years to come.

However, a few years down the road, we have reached a point where decentralized blockchains centered on cryptocurrencies do not seem to be enough of a use case to leverage the full potential of blockchain technology.

Projects such as Ethereum and NEO have come to light in the past few years, and have pushed the envelope. These projects have established themselves as fully-fledged developmental machines, allowing for more use cases and potential.

The blockchain industry is growing at an exponential rate, mainly due to the security, transparency, and global access that the technology brings to the table.

A Beginner’s Guide to CoinFalcon: Complete Review

CoinFalcon is a U.K. based cryptocurrency exchange that was launched in August 2017.

Since it is a fairly new cryptocurrency exchange, comparing it directly with industry giants such as Coinbase or Binance might not necessarily be fair to it, and may paint an inaccurate picture.

Therefore, we will focus more on what CoinFalcon offers to its customers and what it lacks in providing as an individual exchange.

We’ll be taking this approach, rather than comparing it directly with these industry behemoths in order to keep the analysis fair.

That being said, whether you call it unfortunate or pragmatic, the fact remains that CoinFalcon does have these entities as its direct competition.
